Google has taken another step forward in moving stock Android apps to the Google Play Store, furthering an impressive trend that benefits every Android user long term.

The suite of apps that comes with an Android phone you purchase from Google is usually quite different from those that come from HTC, Samsung, or LG. While all of these phones run Android, not one of them offer the same user experience, and not one of them update at the same time. The update cycle for Android phones has always been a point of contention in comparison to iOS, and while Google has worked hard over the last year to move many of the important features to the universally available Play Services package, there’s still more that can be done.

To make Android feel like a cohesive OS, one of the many things Google probably should have done from the beginning is make all of their apps available to install through their own app store. Google has been working hard to make their camera app, launcher, and several other important apps available to anyone with an Android phone, and now one of the more important — but seldom mentioned — productivity apps has joined the Google Play Store. Google’s Email app, the one that isn’t connected to their Gmail service, is now available for free to everyone.

While the app is simple enough to make available — and there are plenty of email clients in the Google Play Store to choose from already — Google’s Email app represents a continued effort to make these apps available to everyone. This is an important mission for Google to continue with, and will likely make a big difference in the future when it comes to how comfortably users move from one Android manufacturer to another.
